Default Proud of what I have done to my "99 vert



I don't know if you remember my original posts, But this vette I bought back in may of 2012 was a triple black car, So this is what it has come to thus far. I am very proud of it and I have won two judges choice awards and one best of show in only four shows since I had it painted mellenium yellow last August. Plus did a few mods myself too, like the rear exhaust enhancer plate plus the amber LED lights under the rear bumper too. Still have to put the same amber LED lights in the fender coves too. and going to do something about the headlights, Any suggestions?? Low beams are terrible at night to see anything, but the high beams do ok. thinking on keeping the pop-ups and going with the H.I.D.'s with an amber tint and halo rings. I think that's about all the chrome I want under the hood, Don't want to over do it.. Would love your opinions on it so far and anything else that you would consider doing to it if it was your vette, Thanks, CorvetteBob

So...This is what it looks like this far

there goes the rear fenders








the rear spoiler is finally on, yay














New 19/18 wheels and tires. I had the break calipers powder coated to match the car too

Very nice. Looks like a very good job changing the color of the car as well as all the appearance mods you've done.

I don't use the word 'Wow' very often, but it seems appropriate here.
Beautiful work, and great looking car.

Very classy.

I won't lie, I'm really digging the underside of the trunk lid. Looks great.

What's Not to be proud of ?
It is very tastefully done.

Radio Flyer has a cool headlight upgrade.
I was cheap and did my own Bi Xenons from Amazon and light housings from the bay. I left the Hi beams stock mainly for inspection check as they really aren't needed w/ Bi Xenons.
Great job on the color change. Very nice car!!
